Police have arrested a suspect on suspicion of attempted murder and another on suspicion of assault after a man was left with serious injuries in Blackpool.
Police were called to Church Street yesterday, Sunday 7th April at around 5pm after reports a man had been deliberately knocked off an e-bike on Durham Road with the junction of Church Street. The man in his 20’s was taken to hospital with serious injuries.
A police cordon remained in place whilst investigations were carried out.
We understand the incident was in relation to an earlier altercation between two cars and a group of men on Cambridge Street.
Det Insp Mat Frith, of Blackpool Police, said: “This is an incredibly serious incident which left a man with some really significant injuries, and I would appeal to anyone who either saw what happened or who has any CCTV, dashcam or Ring doorbell footage to get in touch.
“We will absolutely not tolerate this level of violence on our streets, and efforts are underway to identify those responsible and to bring them to justice.”
A 37-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of attempted murder and a 47-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of assault.
Anyone with information should contact police on 101, quoting log number 0896 of April 7.
